Indian music legend AR Rahman opened up about his plans of opening a Broadway in Chennai. The Oscar winning music composer attended the ongoing Times Now Summit 2024 as a special guest where he declared his fans to set up the show in Chennai. When Rahman was asked about his generosity in the entertainment world he responded he doesn’t limit himself only in the movie. Afterwards he revealed the plans of this special project which his team is already in the process of making. Let’s check out what he has revealed.
AR Rahman said he is currently writing a musical for a director in London
The Grammy winner said at the Summit, “I don’t see myself only in the movie world strangely. Because when you travel, you realize how small you are. And in perspective to the composers and artists abroad, you are small and big at the same time. Big in some things and small in some things. And then you see and find out what is the void and how you push yourself to fill that gap or evolve in certain things and probably give back in certain things. My dream is actually to start an arts collective in Chennai, to build a place where we can do stuff like Broadway. So, along with a couple of friends, we’re planning to do that. And that’s a huge undertaking because it’s terrifying to think about finance, company, and what if something goes wrong.”
Moreover, he added, “Yes, Broad in Chennai. I’m currently writing a musical for a director in London, but can’t reveal much info on it as it is set for months later.”
This isn’t the only big thing happening for him since he recently launched the song ‘Team India Hain Hum’ from the upcoming film Maidaan, starring Ajay Devgn.
The film is a patriotic sports drama based on a true story and will be directed by Amit Ravindernath Sharma. Apart from Devgn, Priyamani, and Gajraj Rao along with Bengali actor Rudranil Ghosh will also be seen in important roles.
The shooting process of the film had gone through numerous obstacles as in 2020, producer Boney Kapoor had to dismantle the film set due to the lockdown imposed for COVID-19 pandemic and in May 2021, the set of the film was destroyed by Cyclone Tauktae. Finally the film is scheduled to release on 10 April 2024, on the Eid weekend
